As people commonly known that, IELTS Speaking is a 14-minute oral English test which includes three parts. Part 1 task requires people to answer question about yourself and where you come from. In Part 2, you will have to speak on your own for one to two minutes with one minute preparation time. While in Part 3 task, you are tested to answer questions related to the part two topic. You are graded on fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation. Among all these teaching years of IELTS Speaking at Longre, I have found that cue cards seem quite scary to most of our students. Getting prepared for IELTS cue cards seems extremely necessary to IELTS exam-takers. 1. What is an IELTS cue card? In Part 2 of the IELTS Speaking module you have to speak for between 1 and 2 minutes on a set topic based on information on a card the examiner will give you. Youll be a given a minute to prepare what you want to say - just enough time to jot down some ideas to help give your talk structure and interest. The card with all the information provided is called a cue card. 2. How an IELTS cue card is organized? All the IELTS cue cards are organized in the same way with one major topic and 4 sub-topics. In addition, all of the cue card topics can be divided into four different areas: people, places, things / objects and events. Look at these sample cue cards: |
